Sixers C Amir Johnson reacts to allowing Blake Griffin's late bucket

The Philadelphia 76ers had seemingly pulled off a wild overtime win after JJ Redick drained a 3-pointer and got fouled to put the team up two late. But Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin got the last laugh, blowing past Amir Johnson with a quick fake and finishing with a layup as he was fouled.

Griffin converted the and-one, leading to the Pistons earning a 133-132 victory.

After the game, Johnson responded to the play in which he made a snap decision to bite on the fake, giving Griffin an open lane. And as fans have come to expect from the veteran center, he took the blame for it and made it known he’s focused on what lies ahead – the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wish I can redo that play smh.. can’t dwell on it tho gotta get one in Milwaukee

It was a rough play to watch, and an unfortunate one for Johnson, as giving Griffin any opening to the basket was obviously the last thing he wanted to do. As the veteran said, it’s time to focus in on getting a win against the Bucks now.
